Wallbox Reviews

I didn't really want to give a rating because I really felt bad for them. (I guess even call center here in Barcelona have better ratings) The last three reviews seems fake due to the fact that most of the employees call Wallbox “hellbox” They hire people with random conditions - no joke they hire you with a lot of promises and as soon as you review your contract everything is different. (salary, holiday, trail period) You can’t even complain because there is no translation in your mother language or English. I signed the contract with 20 other people — felt like McDonald’s hired a lot of service people -they show you the pages of your contract for 3 minutes then you sign and you are trapped in hellbox. The work itself was nice in the very first beginning (even if it was hard to pay rent with this salary) but with changes in the management the work environment changed as well. My manager changed three times in three months - so they expect you to be a different person each time. The management right now wants you to make 70 calls a day - so as I mentioned before a call center might be a better option. I worked in start ups before, and it’s quite normal that everything goes a bit chaotic but honestly saying Wallbox has around 300 employees, an HR department and a lot of money so everything should be a bit more developed than a 10 people start up. I really wish them the best. There is a hard working management behind, very smart and educated people and actually a nice product. But there are also companies’s out there which pay and value you more. In my personal opinion it was the best decision to leave this company.

You know those companies that reward employees for their hard work with pizza parties? Okay, well Wallbox takes that concept to a whole new level. Recurring lay offs since early 2023, reorganizations (meaning workload re-allocation because the budget for new headcount is always inexistent) and the lack of a good company culture has had employees leaving left and right this year. People are no longer sticking around because of “loyalty” or an impressive company mission which used to be a huge selling point for candidates looking to join Wallbox. The biggest con is clearly with management: from poor strategy, poor communication, a “global” expansion without really taking into account each market’s unique characteristics like competition, regulations or consumer behaviours. Product and feature releases being delayed for months if not years, constant and ill-informed reprioritizations of verticals and markets. Huge splurge on marketing efforts (Superbowl) or company parties without clear follow up strategy and kpi evaluation. Last but not least, unresponsiveness and lack of urgency to handle partner requests because although it is a very “lean” organization, there are few decision makers and a huge gap in accountability which slows down everything. Going back to the pizza party idea, well, let’s just say that the employees simply can’t live off of promises… hoping they’ll get a promotion or a raise when budget allows for it. Some former employees had been there for 3 years without a single raise (not even a slight increment to account for inflation and rising costs of living). Wallbox’s mission is very impressive and there are many talented individuals working here. However, if you are looking to join this company I would wait a few years to have management get their act together and treat their employees how they should.
